Poetry
Lost Myself
By Nick
05 May 2008
These are to be read as lyrics as opposed to a poem (Couldn't write a poem if my life depended on it!!). 

Comments much appreciated.

Bleeding holes just for me
A gift from god all for free
Beaten and broken but still I survive
Forced to die but I'm still alive

Held down and done in
Giving up just another sin
Torn skin feeding frenzy
Nothing in my life left to envy

It took time but I lost myself
Ten whole years but I lost myself
No redemption this time round
But little piece's can be found

Decaying but surviving
Living but not alive
Stuck in the mundane
My only companion is the pain

Burning scriptures
Bible is blasphemy
Believe in god but not religion
Believe in yourself not god

Believe in anything as long as you're informed...

It seems like an eclectic collection of loosely related ideas put together in one place. Not necessarily a crit - just an observation. It may work as a song - had to tell without hearing it. Is there a link to an MP3 file? 
 
Sp. last line: your should be you're

Thanks for the comments Phil. 
 
Of course your right - it is, by itself several related ideas in one. Unfortunately i didn't think of this before posting it as it is part of a collection of lyrics (i guess maybe an albums worth) dealing with religion, life and living. 
 
As for an MP3 file, I'm afraid not - I write the lyrics for a friends band and they just pick and choose what they like. Maybe in the future though.

Song lyrics? 
Some of lines are what I felt like at times 
especially the last three.

Thanks Emma, 
 
I'm not sure that it's all that good but to be honest my favourite line is "Believe in yourself not God"
